$6 million to keep Hartline and the chemistry he had with Tanny? What's the problem here? Some of you guys base his values on his previous numbers, but there's always a good possibility that if we bring in a #1, things open up even more for the guy.

Most importantly though, you're keeping a guy who developed a good overall repoire with the quarterback.

There's no way we should pay Hartline $6 mil/year. In FA, Hartline maybe able to get $3-$4 mil/year.

Hartline is an average receiver, he has great hands, but he's small and relatively slow for a receiver. He benefited last year because we lacked other options. As Rich pointed out, his performance was very inconsistent last year............"23% of his total yardage for the season came in one game (Arizona).

43% of his total yardage came in three games (Arizona, Oakland, Indy).

He also had 8 games with 50 yards or less."

We have a very good slot/possession receiver in Bess, we need a large strong receiver who will battle for the ball and a serious down-field threat.
